The Ares is a heavily armored mid- to lategame Battlecruiser, that can have a large amount of turrets and shield upgrades for its size. It does come with a medium sized Hangar, but does not have Grow Plots and only little space for production. Mobility is initially only mediocre, but can be heavily upgraded. The ship will be able to eat Toveras without any problem, when upgraded. Initial layout is set up towards drones and mid-tier regular enemies.

[RP] The Ares Class Battlecruisers quickly earned a fearsome reputation amongst enemies as well as amongst its crews. Firepower, mobility, automisation and defensive have proven to be a considerable step forward from older Designs within the fleet, tapping into experience from the Chimaera Destroyers while providing also much stronger shield and armor options. Battle records so far have been impressive and the Admirality quickly learned to depend on the capabilities of these battle powerhouses.

The highly optimised design however comes at hefty cost in maintainabilty which often causes increased workload for its small crews. A workload, the higher reliance on automisation is only able to compensate in parts. A blatant disregard for workspace safety in the design also causes frequent accidents and injuries. A wrong step in an Ares class battlecruiser can quickly lead to a new scar and a painful way back to the medic facilities, if not worse. The absence of any sophisticated crew facilities (besides a booze-filled fridge), small storage, limited Hangar space and the lack of Hydroponics also means the Battlecruiser is limited in its ability to perform extended long range operations without the support of a Carrier.

Whilst some dread service on the Ares, those that face the challenge often end up as some of the most versatile and hardened crewmembers of the Fleet, with the hardships often forging the small crews into highly cohesive 'families'.

You have to be a certified Badass to survive the work and the booze-evenings in the cantina on this ship.

Addendum: As per order of the high Admiral any shrines to 'the Machine' and comparable paraphernalia on Ares crews will no longer be tolerated and shall be disposed of immediately! [/RP]
